THE COMPANY LINE
"A perfect combination of center of gravity (CG) location and moment of inertia puts the spin rate at the perfect range for a hybrid club. The weight port helps get the CG in its proper location."
OUR TESTERS SAID
PROS
"Big, wide sweet spot auto-corrects most every miss from tee or fairway." — Charlie
Neivert (handicap 2)
"Delivers a nice, penetrating mid-trajectory and is workable from right to left and left to right. It is smooth and consistent and doesn't require a lot of effort to deliver great results. A finesse club that doesn't respond quite as well to force." — Robert Friedrich (8)
"Can feel the head all the way through impact as well as off the toe or heel, allowing for control." — Matt McKeon (0)
"I could hit hard running shots to get extra roll or stay under the wind, and high, soft fades to hold a tighter green." — Rich Sullivan (12)
CONS
"These Idea Pros are good sticks for better players than me." — Michael Kaye (14 )
